Is the 2019 New Sylphy compliant with China VI emission standards?

2019 New Sylphy is compliant with China VI emission standards. The following is a detailed introduction to the China VI emission standards: 1. It is an upgraded version of the current China V emission standards, with stricter limits on the emissions of CO (carbon monoxide), THC (total hydrocarbons), NMHC (non-methane hydrocarbons), NOX (nitrogen oxides), and PM (particulate matter) compared to China V standards. Additionally, it introduces new regulations on PN (particulate number) emissions. 2. According to estimates, under the China VI emission standards, the emissions of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, non-methane total hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides from light gasoline vehicles will be reduced by about 50% compared to the China V phase, and particulate matter emissions will be reduced by about 40%. For heavy-duty diesel vehicles, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter will be reduced by more than 60% compared to the China V phase. 3. In addition to stricter emission requirements, the cold-start test cycle has been adjusted from the NEDC cycle under China V to the WLTC cycle under China VI, resulting in an increase in actual emissions. The dual-idle test will be adjusted to the actual driving test (RDE) starting from July 1, 2023, leading to higher tailpipe emissions. Considering that vehicle exhaust accounts for 20% to 40% of air pollution in first-tier cities, the implementation of China VI can bring a noticeable improvement of more than 10% in urban air quality. 4. On December 23, 2016, the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine issued the "Limits and Measurement Methods for Emissions from Light-Duty Vehicles (China VI)", which came into effect on July 1, 2020. On June 22, 2018, the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine issued the "Limits and Measurement Methods for Emissions from Heavy-Duty Diesel Vehicles (China VI)", which came into effect on July 1, 2019.

I remember this is a quite common question. Indeed, some models of the 2019 Nissan Sylphy meet China 6 emission standards, but not all versions comply. It mainly depends on when it was manufactured and where it was sold. China only began mandatory enforcement of China 6 standards in some major cities from July 2019. For example, vehicles in cities like Beijing and Shanghai usually meet China 6, but those produced in the first half of 2019 or sold in smaller cities might still comply with the older China 5 standard. When purchasing, you can check the vehicle's Certificate of Conformity or the emission label in the engine compartment, which clearly states the emission standard level. If the label shows 'China VI' or 'GB17691-2018', it means China 6 compliance. If such information is missing, it's advisable to verify via the VIN code on Nissan's official website or at a 4S store. China 6 vehicles are more environmentally friendly with cleaner exhaust emissions, though older China 5 models are still drivable. The key is to confirm compliance with local regulations before buying.

I bought a brand-new 2019 Sylphy, and the salesperson told me it had been upgraded to China 6 emission standards. But looking back now, that might not have been the case for all regions. China's emission standards were in a transitional period that year, with some areas like coastal metropolises requiring China 6 first. Nissan factories accordingly adjusted some models for those markets. If you're buying a used car or leftover inventory, especially early 2019 models, they might not have received the update and could still be China 5 compliant. Don't just take verbal promises at face value during inspection—actually open the hood, locate the sticker or label, and verify the China VI mark. Additionally, the environmental test report during registration can clarify things. China 6 vehicles usually face fewer restrictions when transferring ownership in major cities. To be safe, have a knowledgeable friend or repair shop check the full VIN number history.

Regarding the China VI emission standards, I believe environmental considerations are crucial. The 2019 Sylphy underwent phased design improvements, with some versions complying with China VI standards due to better engine calibration and exhaust treatment systems that reduce pollutant emissions. However, this doesn't apply to the entire lineup—it depends on specific configurations and production dates. Models produced after mid-2019 are mostly China VI-compliant, as national policies gradually implemented the standards from that year. Choosing a China VI-compliant vehicle is not only environmentally friendly but also avoids urban driving restrictions in some cities. I recommend purchasing through official channels where sales documents and manuals clearly specify emission details.
